What is Proprioception / Balance of the Ankle?
Proprioception is also known as the Joint Position System (JPS). JPS is a system that allows the joints to send a continuous stream of information to the brain about muscle use, joint position and movement. This allows us to know subconsciously where our limbs are in space without looking and it's also the sense that produces sudden reflex actions when we sense danger. For example, close your eyes..... do you know exactly how your hands are placed? Of course you do! That's your propriocepti...More
Are Ankle Braces Useful?
There is a lot of misinformation being circulated about ankle braces and their effect on the body and athletic performance. Why Use a Brace or Support? A support brace helps you by: Relieving your pain Resting the injured tissues by taking some of the stressful loads Protecting the injured structures from further injury Allowing for initial tissue healing Preventing future injury by support or joint stabilisation. A hinged style ankle brace that allows full up...More
When should I see a Physio?The first reason to see a physio is to be evaluated for a fracture. Signs of a fracture include the inability to bear weight following the injury or if there is tenderness over the bony protrusions of the ankle or foot. In these situations X-rays should be performed to assess for a fracture. Another reason to seek medical advice is to reduce the risk of recurrent or chronic ankle problems. The most important risk factor for ankle sprains is a previous ankle sprain...More
Foot Mechanics: There's more to keep in mind than just what your feet are doing.
Running mechanics have been a hot topic of discussion - from the barefoot crazy to custom-made orthotics, it is possible to find someone who swears by 'their' style of running. Many running stores have treadmills with recording equipment set up to help find "the right shoe for your mechanics". So what is different when you have your gait analysed by a physical therapist? A comprehensive analysis performed by a physical therapist looks at the foot mechanics in several ways — a non-weight be...More
What is a high ankle sprain?
Unlike other ankle sprains, this injury is sustained to the tissue (ligaments) that connect the tibia and the fibula. These are the bones that make up the lower leg (the inner bone being the tibia or shin and the outer being the fibula). With common ankle sprains "low ankle sprains" the ligaments that are most often injured are the ones on the outside of the ankle. These help to connect the fibula to the foot. These ligaments are injured when someone "rolls" their ankle over. ...More
Strengthening the ankle joint!!
The ankle is a complex hinge joint that is primarily defined by the shin bone (tibia) and its meeting with the talus bone on top of the foot. There are several other bones that surround this meeting, as well as all the muscles, ligaments and tendons that make these bones moveable in several directions. Let's focus on how to prevent ankle pain and injury by improving the joint's overall function. Running and sports that involve agility are usually the cause of most ankle injuries, and these usu...More
How Do I know If I've Rolled My Ankle?
An ankle sprain is a common injury. Inversion ankle sprains are the most common, making up 85% of all ankle sprains. It is know that the incidence of lateral ligament injuries is the most common amongst the sporting population and the consequence of not rehabilitating after an initial injury increases the chances of recurrence. • Presents with history of inversion injury or forceful eversion injury to the ankle. May have previous history of ankle injuries or instability. • May be unable ...More
Ankle Sprains
Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are one of the most common sports injuries. As a result they have a high economic burden with direct and indirect costs associated with the injury. From a clinical point of view, the problem with LAS is that there is a very high recurrence rate and 20% of the general population and 30-50% of the athletic population will go on to suffer from chronic ankle symptoms (pain, swelling and instability); also known as chronic ankle instability (Gribble et al., 20...More

PALO ALTO, Calif. --A 13-year-old boy suffered a broken nose and cuts to his face this morning when he collided with a school bus while riding his bicycle, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
The accident was reported at about 7:50 a.m. on Oregon Avenue just west of Carmel Drive, CHP Officer Art Montiel said.
The boy, who was not wearing a helmet, was coming through a passageway from Oregon Expressway to Oregon Avenue, according to Montiel.
"He basically ran the stop sign and hit the right front of a school bus that was traveling east on Oregon Avenue," Montiel said.
The teen was taken to Stanford Hospital to be treated for a broken nose and facial lacerations, he said.
There were only two children on the bus at the time, and they were not injured, he said.

Keitel's endearingly naive comedy leaves no doubt that it's a personal film written by an insider who's still close in age to the main characters, students sharing a frat house in an unamed school--actually, USC, where helmer was student.
As flat as some of the buzz-cut skulls of Griff's strenuously macho buddies.

Hi Guys,
I've joined your forum because I'm looking to buy a MX5 in the next couple of weeks I've only got a budged of circa £2k, so I presume I need to find a MK1. As this will be my first MX5 I thought I would see if you guys had any advice on what might be good to get and what to avoid. Also any other place to look for cars for sale.
I'm based in Fife, work in Kirkcaldy and live near Dunfermline.
Any advice gratefully received.

How it Works
- 1
- You enroll
Our Community Supported Fishery (CSF) is a members-based organization that allows you to purchase a "share" of the harvest of one of our independent, small-boat family fishermen. You enroll at 3-, 7-, or 9-month intervals. Each share includes a specific selection of the species that we harvest. In 2018, these species include wild Alaskan king salmon, sockeye salmon, coho salmon, keta salmon, lingcod, black bass, black cod, Pacific cod, yelloweye, dusky rockfish, spot prawns, Dungeness crab, albacore, and halibut.
You have the option of paying for your share in full at the beginning of the season or spreading out your payments through monthly installments. Prices range from $15 to $25 per pound, depending on the species you choose and the quantity you buy.
As a member, you'll also have access to special sales, discounted annual enrollments, monthly newsletters, recipes, BBQs, salmon bakes, cooking classes, fishermen events, and our exclusive pop-up dinners with celebrated Midwestern chefs.

- Fishermen catch your fish
One of our 20 fishermen-owners or partner fishermen then catch your fish. Our fishermen meticulously catch and handle each fish with care virtually unheard of in the world of large factory boats and corporate-owned fish farms. Your fish are then landed in either Sitka at our small company-owned processing plant, or one of our partner docks in Alaska. There they are filleted and cut into portions of about 1 pound, give or take a few ounces. Each fillet is then individually vacuum-sealed and blast-frozen to -60 degrees Fahrenheit before being shipped to the Midwest. Meanwhile, your Dungeness crabs are broken into clusters of legs and claws, cooked, and glazed, while your spot prawns are headed, glazed, blast-frozen, and packed in bags of about 2 pounds. Once your fish arrives in the Midwest, we contact you via email to clarify your delivery window. We then box up your share of our fishermen's harvest, taking care to make sure you know who caught your fish, where, and when.
- 3
- We home deliver
Every month during fishing season, you get a box of wild Alaskan seafood hand-delivered right to your door by one of our affable and well-mannered Sitka Salmon Stewards or our friends of Fed Ex. In keeping with our guiding principles, Sitka Salmon Shares returns 1 percent of all CSF-related revenue back to fisheries conservation and habitat protection efforts, and we pay to offset all carbon that is released in our Alaska-to-Midwest distribution system. Our fishermen-owners receive a fairer wage for a day's work, and together, we make the entire system more transparent and accountable, from the moment your fish is caught to the moment you sit down with your friends and family to enjoy the best fish you've ever tasted.

A Week in the Llanos of Colombia Jan 27—Feb 03, 2017
Posted by David Ascanio
Related Trips
Our weeklong Colombia tour started in Chingaza National Park (name derived from the Muiscas Amerindian), a site that offered some high Andes birding, despite the clouds that covered the páramo (Andean habitat found above tree line). There were Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanagers, Glowing Pufflegs, wonderful flowering orchids, a skulking Pale-bellied Tapaculo and much more. After enjoying such a rich and varied avifauna, the morning gained momentum when an Andean Pygmy-Owl was found at the road's edge at about eye level, thus allowing great views. Later in the morning, we learned about the flora of the páramo and saw an endemic Espeletia (locally called frailejón). Following lunch, the afternoon provided a perfect complement to the morning with a visit to the Observatorio de Colibríes, where we had the chance to study and enjoy 12 species of hummingbirds, all at close distance!
The second day we took a short flight to El Yopal, located in the plains, or Llanos of the Orinoco River. This vast region is part of an extensive drainage crossed by a complex network of rivers and channels. From the city of Yopal we took a fairly long (and bumpy!) road to Hato La Aurora (hato = ranch), but birds in wetlands alongside the road kept us happy. Some of the species seen along the road included the unique Orinoco Goose and the wonderful Whistling Heron. We also saw several species of ibises (Scarlet, Buff-necked, Glossy, Sharp-tailed, and Bare-faced) and enjoyed astonishing close encounters with pairs of the bizarre Horned Screamer.
But our days in Juan Solito Lodge and the contiguous Hato La Aurora were what I would call a birding experience in the good old days. By that I mean a combination of great birding, farm-like life, no phone lines or mobile signals, superb house-style meals (recipe for the lentils at the end), amazing skies with constellations such as Orion and Taurus, the Milky Way over our heads, and the sensation of being in the middle of nowhere! Each morning welcomed us with new birds, and every evening offered a great sunset to celebrate what we had seen. A stop in a wetland always offered a surprise, and the forest gave us amazing views of wrens, manakins, and tyrant-flycatchers. Every new location allowed sightings of new species such as Chestnut-fronted Macaws, the unique Spectacled Parrotlet, Sunbitterns singing, donacobius and its unique choreography, and the common Yellow-browed Sparrow.
The night was also alive. Close to the lodge we were serenaded by pauraques, while in the open grassland, White-tailed Nightjars flapped their wings around us. Close to the wetlands, Band-tailed Nighthawks showed their unique white tail band and the lack of any wing band. A very special presentation about life in the Llanos and paintings by the owner gave us a deeper understanding of the melancholy accompanying life here.
The last morning found us between groups of trees in otherwise extensive grassland (this habitat is locally called mata), where Cinereous Becard and Blue-crowned Parakeet were observed. Also, a contiguous wetland gave us the chance to see more waterbirds and Yellow-chinned Spinetail, while in native grassland we were able to see a singing Grassland Sparrow.

New Comp, worked fine till Upgrades, now BSODs constantly. 0x0000009f
Hello I recently acquired a Dell Inspiron M5040. It came stock with
AMD E-450 APU with Raedon(tm) HD graphics 1.65GHz
4gb of DDR3 RAM
I upgraded the hard drive inside, and switched to an Intel 540 series 120gb SSD. I used a 40 dollar cable and CD to transfer the OS and drivers and such to the new SSD from the old HD.
Then I noticed I started getting BSODs, not being able to log off, shutdown, or restart. I had 4-5 crashes and minidumps, but then last night after another crash, only that crash remained in my minidump folder...weird. I tried using SF diagnostic tool, and it crashed every time after event logs success. Here is the folder I get when running SF diagnostic, grab all.
Using BlueScreenView, I attributed the bug check string to be DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE, with code 0x0000009f. The filename that is showing red is ntoskrnl.exe. In the previous errors I had the past couple days, there was also a atkimdag error file? Please PLEASE HELP! I spent a lot of money on this computer and it is such a pain to be constantly trying to fix this issue!!! Thank you!

Hello legendor.
Uninstall McAfee Using McAfee Removal Tool.
Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.
update the network driver. Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter - Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card
First, download the network card driver from manufactuer's/Dell's website.

|My System Specs

Windows 7 64-bit
Check the properties window of your Minidump folder and see if you somehow lost rights to it. Try to regain both ownership and viewing rights of the folder under the Security tab. If the details on the folder are showing up erroneous/empty (like security tab) then the folder is corrupt. Try deleting it and remaking it. If you can't even do that for some reason, then most likely you have a drive problem corrupting the filesystem (try doing CHKDSK /R).

he DCC ready, Proto 2000 S1, Alco Switchers may blow DCC decoders that are either plugged into the NMRA socket or hardwired. Although the trucks are isolated from the frame and thereby the frame is isolated from track power, the positive motor connection is tied to the frame at the bottom motor brush area.
In the event that the loco de-rails and the truck/wheels come in contact with the frame, track power will go through the frame and short to the bottom motor brush, which will most likely destroy or damage the decoder.
The solution is to isolate the bottom motor brush from the frame using an insulator and connect the decoder orange from the DCC NMRA socket bd directly to the bottom motor brush. We are looking at several simple options to remedy the problem and will post details soon.
We do not view this as a reason not to buy or use the S1. Consistent with the Proto 2000 tradition, this is an excellent locomotive.
In view of the above, use caution when operating on DCC and watch for details about a remedy from Lifelike.

In the late 1970s, Oprah Winfrey was the co-host of a Baltimore morning show called "People Are Talking." She'd enjoyed her time there, alongside co-host Richard Sher, but felt that she'd grown enough in that role and was ready for her next adventure. That's when Oprah heard there was a morning show in Chicago that needed a new host.
Determined to land the Chicago job, Oprah stayed up all night with an editor working on her audition tape.
Watch the above video to see the 1983 audition in which Oprah explains the origin of her unique name. Oprah first shared the video with her viewers on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2005 after her production team unearthed it, but the video has gone viral over the last few days.
Oprah landed the gig, hosting the morning talk show titled "AM Chicago." In a matter of months, the half-hour program became Chicago's highest-rated talk show. Soon, it was extended to a full hour, renamed "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and began broadcasting nationally, which it continued for 25 more years.

And Baby Girl makes 5

The first time I ever spoke to this family years ago was a milestone for me. This was the first person to ever contact me from finding my work on the internet and wanting to book me. Excitement, joy and major nervousness were just a few of the emotions that I felt as I book and headed over the day of the shoot. This is from that very first shoot.
My first shoot and all those following have been a joy. This family is so sweet and down to earth and you can see it in the smiles of the little ladies they are raising. This spring I was overjoyed to recieve a call that they were expecting and another little princesses was on the way.
M and S are so excited to be getting another sister. Their enthusiasm is contagious. I mean really just look at these adorable faces!
And because life has been moving faster then me, lets fast forward a few months and show you the newest member of the J Family. Isn't she just perfect!
Dad is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan so first and foremost we had to make sure we got this lovely angel rocking her Dallas Cowboy's Bling.
Admiration and awe to Mrs. J who brought this sweet angel into the world in the comforts of her own home. I can't even describe the strength she radiates! This family is so blessed to have such a strong and fearless momma!
This is one of my favorite lifestyle shots of the shoot. It is so touching and so humbling to be asked not only to capture this family year after year but to be invited into their entire home and allowed to capture extra special moments like these. Thank you so much!
If you are like my work please follow us on Facebook or Instagram @luvinpictures! Interested in booking a shoot please message me or give me a call! I would love to capture your important moments too!

The "one shot" short films featured as extras on Marvel movies' DVD releases are becoming a hotbed for TV series ideas. After one such short, Item 47 on The Avengers DVD about the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., led to the new ABC/Marvel series, another one may also spawn a series project for ABC. Marvel is notoriously secretive about their development, and no one would comment, but I hear the company is working on a concept for a potential TV series inspired by Agent Carter, a one shot, which will be featured on the upcoming Blu-ray release of Iron Man 3. Directed by Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito, Agent Carter brings back Captain America's girlfriend Peggy Carter, Marvel Agent Carter TV Seriesplayed by Hayley Atwell, and chronicles her life as a budding secret agent after her boyfriend is stranded in ice. (Watch a clip below.) I hear the project is in very early stages, one of several in the works at Marvel, and is in the process of locking in a writer. It is unclear if Atwell would reprise her role if Agent Carter comes to fruition.

Just received our 2 rockers and side table - so far we love them! Very comfortable and sturdy-we needed durable outdoor furniture for West Texas that wouldn't blow away, is easy to keep clean and could hold up to me and my husband-we aren't small people:) and fit the style of a colonial home. Don't mind spending $$$ on these if they hold up as good as reviews have led us to believe. Only complaint was the first chair was a little challenging to put together- my husband had to wittle the head rest to fit into the slot and some of the holes seemed a little out of alignment, but the second chair went together perfectly. Looking forward to those nice Texas mornings, a cup of joe and my rocker.

Bryan and Morgan Adventure Engagement
Several weeks back I had the honor to take photos of my best friend and his incredible fiancé. I woke up on a Tuesday morning with a text asking if I could make the trip with them to his family cabin at Roy Lake, just north of Eden, SD (middle of nowhere). It was the only time we could make it work with everyones schedules and we lucked out with the weather. It was very enjoyable shooting in a new location, a fresh perspective is a good one. (for any clients reading this, if you want to travel somewhere a bit different I will always be down!) Here are some photos from the trip, we shot that Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning at sunrise. I also somehow sat in Deer manure, so that is also catalogued in this blog

Why Arabic Language is So Rich!
It took me a long while to start thinking in English when I'm writing in English, otherwise I'd be thinking in Arabic and making literal translation in my head to English which is 'no good'. That's all fine, until there would be an Arabic word urging to come out and the translation of this one word is a sentence! Yes, a sentence of noun, verb, object, preposition, etc... that's when I contemplate the beauty of the Arabic language, how rich and expressive! Just to clarify this case: a word in Arabic can be formed of a verb with the subject and object of the sentence attached to it as suffix and prefix. A word such as: 'Yakhossohom' means: 'It belongs to them' some might argue that it also means 'it's theirs'; well, not really, because that one single word is translated to the four English words; the latter (it's theirs) would be translated as 'Lahom'.
If you translate an English document to Arabic and it is as wordy as the English one, then it doesn't read well in Arabic and there can be lots of editing to do.
It's amazing how we have such an expressive language and we still manage to maneuver our ways out and not be straight forward to express exactly what we want. We don't use the Yes's and No's for the purpose they serve. But we use the 'Inshalla's' and 'We'll see' and 'Yeah sure' when we clearly mean No.
Start making the best of your language, use the words clearly to express your rights. Don't hide behind the '3aib' (Shame) veil and reword what you try to say to suit other people's likings while the whole meaning is diluted and the message is lost. Our attitudes should rise to measure up to the richness of our language and how precise and clear it is without the vagueness and uncertainty we carry around most of the times.
هناك تعليق واحد:
I agree. For a very long time, I used to translate from Arabic to English while writing until English occupied my thoughts. Now, it's an equal mix of both — at times one more than the other — but it makes me feel like a true bilingual.ردحذف
That said, I gained a whole lot of appreciation of the Arabic language the more I learned English. As rich as the English language can be, the words being comprised of disjointed letters makes me believe that there really is not much room for excitement. In Arabic, the shape of the word and the vowels and decorative ornaments make it quite a delight to read and write — though Arabic can be pretty obtuse in overly formal writing.
I have to thank the music of yesterdecades for igniting the love of the Arabic language again. It's absolutely brilliant how you can express so much in very few words.

JAFFA, Israel -- Nineteen-year-old Sharone`s parents don`t want to know where she lives. After the young Israeli Jew moved in with her Arab Muslim fiance, her parents -- and some of her friends -- severed relations.
Hers is a typical story.
When an Arab or a Jew marries ``the enemy,`` he or she unleashes both hatred and deep-rooted fear in this divided nation. Yet, like modern-day Romeos and Juliets, as many as 3,000 mixed couples today love and marry across the divide. And, suffer the consequences.
``My family won`t speak to me,`` Sharone says, holding her fiance`s hand as they sit on a couch in their tiny apartment.
Their neighbors in Jerusalem also stopped speaking to them when they discovered that, despite flawless Hebrew and a degree from a prestigious Israeli university, 22-year-old Nabil was a Muslim villager by birth, raised in northern Israel`s predominantly Arab Galilee region.
``We love each other very much, but if I could do it over again, I wouldn`t,`` Sharone says. ``You have to be very, very strong. It`s just too difficult.``
-- Mixed couples in Israel usually consist of Jewish women and Arab men, because Arab women are traditionally forbidden to date before marriage. And if courtship is difficult for these couples, marriage is even harder. Israel`s us-versus-them society provides no middle ground for a mixed couple to feel either welcome or safe. Their marriages are considered illegal and can be performed only outside the country, often in Cyprus. Couples move abroad if they can.
In most cases, because Palestinian Arab culture is more tolerant of mixed marriage, Jewish women learn Arabic and attempt to assimilate into their husbands` world. But years later, even if they have converted to Islam, many say they are still treated like outsiders, especially during wartime.
Other couples try to blend into Jewish society, sending their children to Hebrew schools and then on to the army. However, they face hardships finding employment, since the government regards them as a security risk. And, like Sharone and Nabil, many have trouble even finding a landlord who will rent them a place to live.

Seeing God's Hands
Prophets, like Jeremiah, are also known as seers. I looked it up, the word seer comes from the compound see and -er. God asks Jeremiah to go to the potter's shop and see. As a photography nut, this has become important to me. Most people go to somewhere scenic and snap selfies on their cell phones. The camera in my iPhone is in some ways superior to the expensive camera with aspherical lenses that I use when I am seriously seeing. That's the point, using a cell phone rarely makes one a seer. Jeremiah is asked to go down to the potter's shop and see.

Flu Prevention
We want to be a part of your ongoing health. That's why we offer the influenza vaccine on a walk-in basis every day, including evenings and weekends. It's fast and it's convenient. You can learn more about the flu on the website of the Centers for Disease Control, CDC, at www.cdc.gov. Here is a sample of what you'll find:
What is Influenza (also called Flu)?
The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year.
Preventing Flu
The first and most important step in preventing flu is to get a flu vaccination each year. CDC also recommends everyday preventive actions (like staying away from people who are sick, covering coughs and sneezes and frequent hand washing) to help slow the spread of germs that cause respiratory (nose, throat, and lungs) illnesses, like flu.
Signs and Symptoms of Flu
People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms:
- Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Muscle or body aches
- Headaches
- Fatigue (very tired)
- Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
*It's important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.
How Flu Spreads
Most experts believe that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes or possibly their nose.
Period of Contagiousness
You may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others for an even longer time.
Onset of Symptoms
The time from when a person is exposed to flu virus to when symptoms begin is about 1 to 4 days, with an average of about 2 days.
Complications of Flu
Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes.
People at High Risk from Flu
Anyone can get the flu (even healthy people), and serious problems related to the flu can happen at any age, but some people are at high risk of developing serious flu-related complications if they get sick. This includes people 65 years and older, people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), pregnant women, and young children.
Diagnosing Flu
It is very difficult to distinguish the flu from other viral or bacterial causes of respiratory illnesses on the basis of symptoms alone. There are tests available to diagnose flu. For more information, see Diagnosing Flu.
Flu Vaccine
We offer a quadrivalent flu vaccine at our sites. This means that it protects against 4 different types of flu versus a vaccine that protects against 3 types of flu that some facilities may offer.

Police Officers Indicted For Assaulting Demetrius Hollins And Fabricating Story
He didn't have a license plate.
He didn't comply with verbal commands
He tried to push the officer away.
He reached for a firearm under his car seat.
The car smelled like marijuana.
He was pulled over before and a gun was found.
He resisted arrested which forced the tasing.
Those were all reason that Sgt. Michael Bongiovanni, 42, and Officer Robert McDonald 25, of suburban Atlanta, Georgia gave to justify their use of excessive force on April 12, 2017 upon 21-year old Demetrius Hollins.
Then bystander video was released showing what happened after Demetrius was placed in handcuffs and laying on the ground. The video shows McDonald running up to a handcuffed Demetrius, stomping on his head as if he was stomping an insect.
Another bystander video was released showing the traffic stop. In it, Bongiovanni is shown punching Demetrius in the face as he gets out of the car with his hands up. Read the rest of this entry
Two Georgia Cops Fired for Attack on Handcuffed Man
Reported this yesterday. A Gwinnett County, Georgia Policeman stomping the face of a suspect, as he lay handcuffed on the ground.
Turns out he wasn't the only officer to abuse this man.
Kudos to the Police Chief Butch Ayers for reacting to these crime decisively, and not with the cover ups like we have seen in places like Fergeson, Mo. Chief Ayers decision to fire the Officers involved makes a statement, not only to his Officers, but to the community as a whole, that there is no justification for illicit actions.
Second Georgia cop canned after violence caught on video during arrest
Two Georgia police officers were fired Thursday, a day after authorities say one punched a man who had his hands up and the other kicked the man in the head once he was handcuffed on the ground.
The Gwinnett County Police Department said Thursday afternoon that Master Police Officer…

Two Former Police Officers Found Guilty For The Murder Of Handcuffed Man
On August 18, 2015, East Point, Georgia police officers Cpl. Howard Weems and Sgt. Marcus Eberhart were indicted on charges related to the April 11, 2014 death of 24-year old Gregory Towns. Eberhart resigned and Weems was terminated after the incident. Their trial began on December 5, 2016.
On April 11, 2014, Weems and Eberhart responded to a domestic violence call in the Atlanta suburb. Another officer was also present. Gregory Towns ran and was apprehended. According to Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard, after apprehending Gregory,the officers handcuffed him. They demanded him to stand and walk to a waiting patrol car. Gregory indicated that he was out of breath and could not stand. Both officers used their tasers on Gregory, and even after attempting to walk but collapsing, the officers continued to tase him.
Gregory was tased 13-14 times. Read the rest of this entry
Jackson Georgia Police Officer Charged With Felonies
On September 24, 2016, Jackson, Georgia police officer Sherry Hall was terminated from her job. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced a day earlier that Hall faced felony charges of false statements, tampering with evidence, interference with government property and a violation of oath of office.
On Monday October 3, 2016, Hall was arrested, charged with the 4 felonies above.
Sherry Hall had been on her job with the Jackson police department for approximately 3 months when, on the night of September 13, 2016, she radioed in that she had been shot. Hall described the shooter as a Black man wearing a green shirt and black jogging pants. She said the bullet struck her vest, and she credited that with saving her life. Hall said that the man ran.
Authorities put out the description of the shooter and started looking for him in the small, peaceful community where the shooting happened.
Only, there was no shooter at large. Hall made up the story.
Jesse Williams' Acceptance Speech and Lena Baker
Last night, I caught some of the BET Awards on television. I don't care much for commercial television. During commercials, I tend to walk away from the television, get distracted and do not return to watching the program. Survivor is the only program that I set time aside to watch when it airs. It's not on television year round so I'm not tied down to the television for an hour or two every week.
When I turn on the television, it's mostly to news channels or I channel surf for movies. Last night, I had a phone call and decided to turn on the television and channel surf when I discovered that the BET Awards were on.
The other week as I channel surfed, I came upon a movie titled Hope & Redemption: The Lena Baker Story. It's strange now that I think about it because that night, the same friend called me who called last night. Maybe he should call me more often in the evenings.
By now, you might be asking what the Lena Baker story has to do with the BET Awards? BET awarded Jesse Williams the 2016 Humanitarian Award. His acceptance speech spoke volumes. Read the rest of this entry
Three Former Augusta Georgia Correctional Officers Indicted For Civil Rights Violation
Former Augusta, George State Medical Prison correctional officers John Williams, Antonio Binns, and Justin Washington, have been charged with a civil rights violation. The indictment alleges that on February 13, 2014, the three assaulted an inmate, known in the case as "C.V." while he was handcuffed behind his back. Binns and Washington were also indicted for one count of obstruction of justice for allegedly writing false reports to cover-up the assault.
According to the Augusta Chronicle, bonds of $20,000 were set for Williams and Washington, and a $30,000 bond was set for Binns. Binns' bond will be lowered to $20,000 if he loses his job, according to court documents.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division; U.S. Attorney Edward J. Tarver of the Southern District of Georgia and Special Agent in Charge J. Britt Johnson of the FBI's Atlanta Division made the announcement.
If convicted of the civil rights charge, each defendant faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. The obstruction of justice counts carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Read the rest of this entry
State Dept. Employee Charged With Cyberstalking, Hacking and Extortion
Michael C. Ford thought he was sophisticated in how he terrorized young women on the internet. His methods however, resulted in federal charges of interstate threats, fraud in connection with computers, wire fraud, and cyberstalking.
Some of us are familiar with the threats, being on the receiving end. They are threats that unless you do what the perpetrator wants, that they will post your personal information on the internet. Many times, that is combined with claiming to have some type of "public document" and misrepresenting it so they can demean and mock.
Michael C. Ford however, did not use "public documents" as a threat against his victims. He hacked into protected accounts on the internet and obtained sexual photos of his victims. The 17 page warrant is an interesting read.
Ford used various Google email addresses to make contact with a woman, reported to be 18-years old, letting her know that he had obtained some sexually compromising photos of her, and that he also knew her real name and address. He demanded that she take videos of other girls undressing and/or nude, and send them to him or he would release the photos to her family and friends, and post them on the internet along with her personal information.
One Person Charged In The Investigation Of The Death Of Kendrick Johnson
It's rather insignificant because it doesn't lead to identifying who killed 17-year old Kendrick Johnson, but it's significant in the sense that there are consequences for people who break the law.
You might remember about the anonymous email purporting to have overheard a confession in the killing of 17-year old Kendrick Johnson. We reported it in March 2014.
The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office received an anonymous email dated January 27, 2014. The sender did not suggest that he or she witnessed the confession. Rather, the sender claims to have been given that information by someone who purportedly is aware of the confession by a person implicated in the email. Read the rest of this entry
Georgia Transsexual Man Called 'It' by Police Pushes for End to Harassment
Juan Evans, a transsexual man who was harassed and dehumanized by police officers in East Point, Ga., received a small measure of justice this week after hearing a heartfelt apology from the town's mayor. But he is continuing to seek an apology and an indication of future changes from the town's police department.
On October 23, Evans was pulled over by police for speeding. Having left his wallet at his office several blocks away, Evans identified himself by providing his birth name, birth date, social security number, and address. He told officers he was a transsexual after an officer accused him of lying.
In response, a police officer allegedly demanded to search Evans' genitals on the side of the road to determine his gender. When Evans refused, he says the officer laughed and stated, "I have a right to search your mother's genitals to find out who you are."

Georgia Governor Signs 'Unprecedented' Gun Rights Bill
Caterpillars, moths, butterflies, and all creatures great and small,
There's some good articles on other blogs that I'll reblog today. Hope you enjoy.
Gov. Nathan Deal, seated, signs House Bill 60 into law Wednesday in Ellijay, Ga. The gun law is a broad loosening of Georgia's gun restrictions. Under the law, people with a license can carry a gun into bars, some government buildings and places of worship if religious leaders say it's OK.
I can't believe the Governor of Georgia signed this incredibly dangerous gun "rights" bill. What about the rights of potential victims of this madness?
The Huffington Post
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) signed a sweeping gun rights bill on Wednesday.
House Bill 60, also known as the Safe Carry Protection Act, will allow licensed gun owners to carry their firearms into public places, including bars, nightclubs, schools, churches and government buildings.
"People who follow the rules can protect themselves and their families from people who don't follow the rules," Deal said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution…

Joe Hendrix Who Killed Man With Alzheimer's Will Not Be Charged
On November 30, 2013, End Stand Your Ground blogged on the case of Ronald Westbrook. We re-blogged it here.
72-year-old Ronald Westbrook suffered with advanced Alzheimer's disease. He wandered away from his home and was shot four times and killed after ringing the doorbell and turning a doorknob at a home in Georgia.
Think Progress now reports that Joe Hendrix, who killed Westbrook, will not be charged. Walker County, GA District Attorney Herbert "Buzz" Franklin explained his decision saying, "In interviews immediately after the shooting, Hendrix claimed he acted in self-defense. In Georgia, the prosecution bears the burden of disproving a self-defense claim beyond a reasonable doubt. After looking at the facts from Hendrix' perspective, it would be impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hendrix did not reasonably act in self-defense." Read the rest of this entry
Stand Your Ground Protesters Arrested In Georgia
Looks like State Senator Jesse Stone is making a reputation for himself — a bad reputation.
Moral Monday Georgia protesters demonstrating against the state's stand your ground law were arrested February 10. 2014. (photo credit: Max Blau)
About 23 people protesting Georgia's stand your ground law in a demonstration by the Moral Monday activism movement were arrested in the office of State Senator Jesse Stone (R-Waynesboro) at the Coverdell Legislative Office Building in Atlanta Monday.
Senator Stone is the chairman of the state Senate Judiciary Non-Civil Committee. The group wanted to meet with the lawmaker about his handling of SB 280, a bill introduced by Senator Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta) to repeal the Georgia stand your ground law. Georgia's self-defense laws contain a "no duty to retreat" statute enacted in 2006.
Stone's staff told the protesters that the Senator would meet with only two representatives of the group – without cameras – but the protesters wanted the lawmaker to come out and speak with them all as a group, so the demonstration…

Rally To End Stand Your Ground In Georgia
I'm not sure how many of my readers reside in Georgia, but I'm reblogging so they are informed and just in case they do or know others who do.
Here's hoping that Georgia politicians hear and honor their constituents.
Moral Monday Georgia is staging a rally against stand your ground law in Georgia at the state capitol in Atlanta at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow – Monday, February 3, to gain support against SB 280, a bill to repeal Georgia's stand your ground law.
Moral Monday Georgia is a grassroots social justice group modeled after protest groups in North Carolina. Moral Monday protests are characterized by engaging in civil disobedience by entering the state legislature building and then being peacefully arrested. The protests are generally partisan against Republican actions.
Senator Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta) and nine other people were arrested last Monday inside Georgia Governor Nathan Deal's office and charged with obstruction and criminal trespassing while protesting the governor's opposition to expansion of Medicaid programs for the poor.
The rally tomorrow precedes a hearing on Wednesday, February 5, in the Georgia House on a bill introduced by Senator Fort…

Georgia Senator Hopes To End Stand Your Ground
Thanks for this information of a very important and necessary event.
[UPDATE: This hearing was postponed due to weather conditions in Atlanta, and will now be held at 3:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, February 5, 2014]
Georgia will hold a hearing before the state's Senate Judiciary Committee on a bill to repeal the state's stand your ground law on Wednesday, January 29, and advocates are calling on supporters to "pack the house".
The bill, SB 280, introduced by Senator Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta), seeks to repeal the statute relating to "no duty to retreat" in Georgia's self-defense laws. The hearing will take place at 3:00 p.m. (EST) in Room 307 of the Coverdell Legislative Office Building, located at 18 Capitol Square in Atlanta.
Senator Fort said in a statement that he is calling for "a full and fair hearing" on SB 280, something he claims was not done with a related bill last session. He said this bill, "seeks to end the morally wrong practice of…

Kendrick Johnson-Complaint Filed About Missing Organs
It's bad enough when a son is missing and later found dead. That is multiplied when police say it was an accident, but the body gives sign of a struggle and beating. When it's discovered that internal organs were removed and replaced with newspaper, that's enough to send any parent into numerous, emotional hoops — and demands for answers.

The takeover rumor rally in APC Anadarko Petroleum causes me some pain. I was short strangles and the stock is near the short June 110 calls. I sold some July puts to hedge my position. Other highlights including covering short puts in BEAV BE Aerospace, hedging in DAL Delta Airlines. I rebalance in IWM the Russell 2000 etf and the move lower gets me to net neutral.
The sentiment at AAII is getting to be a concern. Others cite a record high bullish reading among advisers at Investors Intelligence. Transports are moving lower. Interest rates have ticked up. So there are reason for concern. It isn't time to prepare for the big one, but a minor squall has been in the forecast for over a year now. Here is this week's recap:
Thu Sell DAL Jul 45 calls @38.4. Delta Airlines knifing lower. I hedge my short Jul 35 puts by selling some calls.
Wed Sell APC Jul 100 puts @108.0. Anadarko Petroleum up on takeover rumors. My short position in APC Jun 110 calls is deep in the red. I sell yet another layers of puts to reduce my negative delta, but my net position is short. It is a difficult situation. I weigh other choices such as buying back the calls and taking the loss, buying shares of stock to hedge the short call, or selling other puts at different strikes and expiration, before deciding.
Tue Sell GLD Jul 115 puts .25 @121.4. Gold showing signs of life with a small up day. I rebalance my short strangles back to net long. I am betting on a continuation of a narrow trading range between 115 and 128. In the big picture this is a narrow window, but in the short term gold is not moving.
Buy to cover BEAV Jun 90 puts .35 @93.9. BE Aerospace says it is splitting into two companies. I took my position on news that they were seeking strategic alternatives. The outcome was not a buy-out, so the stock drops. I get out with a small profit.
Sell SLB Jul 97.5 puts .30 @106.5. I open a July position in Schlumberger.
Sell IWM Jun 112 puts .22 @116.5. I rebalance my complicated position on the Russell 2000 etf. I am still net short. It doesn't want to go down.
Sell WFC Jul 49 puts .17 @52.5. I open a July position in Wells Fargo.
Position Summary:

At Central Middle School in Ada, Michigan the students are taking photographs of trees. This started at the beginning of the school year. Students have gone out almost every day to take pictures of their changing campus. They were inspired by Mark Hirsch who wrote and photographed his book That Tree. Mark's Book revolves around a tree that he takes a picture of everyday and made a book of his photographs. The middle schoolers are following in his footsteps and uploading them to the internet.

The whole of Manchester is covered by the Clean Air Act, meaning that there are restrictions on what you can and can't burn for heating.
I discovered this shortly after it got cold, when a notice from the council was pinned up in the boaters' hut, stating that the burning of wood was generally not permitted.
Luckily my coal arrived this week. Clarifying the matter with Brian (the coal boat man – he delivers throughout the midland and north canal network…though disappointingly came to Ancoats in a van), I found it was permitted to burn wood for 30 minutes, before changing to a smoke-free fuel like the Excel coal I had just ordered.
So that means there's plenty of time to get a fire going with paper and wood before getting the coal on. Phew. It's really great to know that their are air quality regs in the city, but for a moment I was really wondering how on earth I was going to heat my boat.
